REEBOK x CHUKWU: DROP 2 ABUO via 360 MAGAZINE.

Reebok + Tobe Nwigwe

‘Reebok + Chukwu’ Collection – Sophomore Reveal

New Chapter of Multi-Season Partnership Debuts Chukwu ABUO Footwear and Tailored, Timeless Apparel Collection

Reebok, the iconic sports culture brand, and Tobe Nwigwe, the visionary artist known for his genre-defying work in music and film, proudly announce the next chapter in their ongoing partnership, Reebok x Chukwu. Launching August 22 at 10 a.m. ET, the sophomore drop, introduces the Chukwu ABUO (pronounced: ah-BOO-aw) footwear silhouette, a reimagined BB 4000 II, for both adults and children alongside a refined adult apparel capsule. Reebok x Chukwu collection will be available exclusively on Reebok.com and through select specialty retailers.

The next evolution of the Reebok x Chukwu narrative builds on the success of the inaugural “Preseason OTU” launch earlier in 2025, continuing to blend Nwigwe’s personal storytelling with Reebok’s design heritage. While the first drop celebrated legacy and roots, this collection highlights the importance of family as a source of strength and purpose. It honors both the generations that came before and those who share the journey today. Reflecting this theme, the collection includes children’s sizing, emphasizing connection across generations and the passing down of meaning and intention.

Reebok x Chukwu ABUO ($130.00 MSRP): A bold, new silhouette built on the Reebok BB 4000 II, the “ABUO” (meaning “two” in the Nigerian Igbo language) represents the next evolution in Tobe Nwigwe’s creative journey. Designed with a mixed-material upper, featuring hairy suede, nubuck leather, and textile, the shoe incorporates uniquely curved overlays that add depth and motion to the design. Accents appear throughout, along with a lace toggle closure, custom-molded heel logo, gum outsole, and a co-branded sock liner. Available in two (2) colorways, signature Mint and in Chalk. The Chukwu ABUO silhouette is also offered in Junior ($75.00 MSRP), Children’s ($70.00 MSRP), and Infant ($60.00 MSRP) sizing.

“Chukwu ABUO is more than just the next drop,  it’s a reflection of growth, deeply rooted in my family and heritage, connecting where I’ve been with where I’m going,” said Nwigwe. “This collection represents clarity, how my past and future align in the now. It’s a refined continuation of what I started: classic, elevated, tailored, and still undeniably me. The Mint throughout isn’t just a color, it symbolizes new beginnings and things falling into place as they’re ‘Mint’ to be. OTU was the beginning, and together with ABUO, they’re two chapters in a bigger story about duality, balance, and staying grounded in where you’re from while stepping into what’s ahead.”

Reebok x Chukwu Apparel Capsule ($40.00 MSRP – $100.00 MSRP) 

Unified by mint tones and tailored pieces, the Chukwu apparel collection blends statement design with everyday versatility. Available in sizes 2XS – 2XL. Collection includes:

  • Chukwu Full-Zip Hoodie ($90.00 MSRP): Oversized fit in heavyweight French terry with a saddle-stitched hood, two-way metal zipper, and embroidered CHUKWU and Reebok logos.
  • Chukwu Graphic Tee ($40.00 MSRP): 350gsm single jersey with a bungee cord stopper, drop-shoulder fit, and satin-stitched embroidered graphics.
  • Chukwu Nylon Coaches Jacket ($100.00 MSRP): Cropped, boxy silhouette crafted from heavyweight crinkle nylon with antique silver hardware, double-entry pockets, and embroidered artwork. Available in mint and tan.
  • Chukwu Nylon High-Waist Shorts ($55.00 MSRP): Clean-finished hem, elastic waist, embroidered logos, and self-pocket bags. Pairs with the jacket in mint and tan.
  • Chukwu Sweatpants ($75.00 MSRP): Coordinated French terry sweatpants with branded metal zipper, cotton drawcord, and oversized fit.

“Family was at the heart of every design decision in this collection,” continued Nwigwe. “My kids inspire how I think, create, and move through life. This collection reflects that energy and intention. It’s a piece of my family’s story—created with care, and meant to be shared from my family to yours,” he concluded.

Reebok x Chukwu launches August 22, 2025, at 10 a.m. ET, exclusively on Reebok.com and through select specialty retailers.

Kumho Tires review by Vaughn Lowery and Justin Osborne dedicated to Joseph Lowery via 360 MAGAZINE.

Kumho Tire – Ecsta Sport All-Season

*vehicle + wheels are currently undergoing restoration.

‘For summer 2025, we decided to pay homage to the dean of civil rights and president Obama medal of freedom recipient Joseph Lowery, our deceased grandfather, by restoring and customizing one of his luxury vehicles. He passed away in 2020 at 98, and due to covid, it was a dream that was deferred that has now come true. Thus, we shipped his well-loved 1999 Mercedes S500 AMG sports sedan from Atlanta to The Bronx. Upon its arrival, we noticed that the tires were slightly worn and needed to be replaced. Kumho Tires, our esteemed friends, sent us the Ecsta Sport all-season PA71 staggered. Our technician installed them, and they fit like a glove.’Vaughn Lowery

Design

The Kumho Ecsta Sport A/S has a stance that is both elegant and aggressive, with classic lines. Visually, it pairs perfectly with an older passenger vehicle because its minimalist architecture isn’t overwhelming. Often, tires in the ultra performance category tend to possess gaudy sidewalls and ostentatious tread patterns with no functionality.

Performance

Kumho racing tires are equipped with a premium tread that is designed to provide high performance in moderate conditions at a competitive price. Their signature V-shaped or asymmetric tread pattern offers additional grip, increased agility, and added resistance to hydroplaning during inclement weather.

Made with a sturdy silica compound, the wide outside blocks aid in cornering, stability, and steering while reducing roll. This is critical for oil slicks and damp roads caused by recent NYC flash floods. When challenged with hot, dry asphalt plagued with potholes, the car maneuvers just as well, largely due to rubber’s flexibility in changing temperatures and the internal structure of the tires. By using deep grooves, airflow can be stifled, reducing noise levels from inside the cabin.

Value

With its 50,000-mile treadwear warranty, the driver can rest easy knowing that their durability is backed by the manufacturer, providing them with additional peace of mind. The Kumho DNA, which was established in 1960 in South Korea, exudes innovation. It’s apparent with their extensive research and testing at their various development centers, Gwangju, Akron, and Birmingham, as well as their participation in the automotive racing arena.

Conclusion

Overall, the Ecsta Sport All-Season PA71 is an ultra-high performance tire that can hold its own in the marketplace against Bridgestone and Potenza largely due to its price point and performance in wet conditions. Once the weather breaks, we will conduct a chrome removal, an AMG facelift, wrap the wood grain in gloss black, and install an infotainment screen with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay alongside a back-up camera.

As a grand finale to the momentous performance, a 500-drone show graced the skies of Grant Park, including an impressive 100 pyro drones. During the duo’s final moments on stage, the drones aligned to spell out “BIG BOOTIE LAND 5/16/2026”, announcing the return of Two Friends’ iconic annual Big Bootie Land to Chicago at the Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island. 

Riding on the momentum of their adrenaline-charged festival set, Two Friends played a sold-out official Lollapalooza aftershow at Sound Bar.

$4 Unbeatable Meal Deal – Checkers + GloRilla

Checkers & Rally’s Teams Up with Hip-Hop Star GloRilla for a Fearlessly Original Flavor Collab: Introducing GloRilla’s $4 Unbeatable Meal Deal

Checkers & Rally’s, home of Famous Seasoned Fries and bold, crave-worthy flavor, is turning up the volume on value with a new celebrity collaboration that’s as fearless as it is flavorful. Introducing GloRilla’s $4 Unbeatable Meal Deal—a bold remix of their best-in-class value meal, now backed by Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist and former Checkers employee, GloRilla.

GloRilla—born Gloria Hallelujah Woods—is a Memphis-born music icon whose breakout sound and fierce individuality embody Checkers & Rally’s new Fearlessly Original brand positioning. And for Glo, this partnership hits home—literally. Before dominating the Billboard charts and winning awards like Best Breakthrough Hip Hop Artist at the BET Hip Hop Awards and Hip-Hop Artist of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, GloRilla once worked at a Checkers in Memphis, famously telling coworkers, “One day I’m going to be famous.” Now she’s bringing that full-circle moment back to the drive-thru.

“Checkers is where I got my start, and now I’ve got a meal deal with my name on it,” said GloRilla. “Life comes with ups and downs, but this moment means a lot to me. I’m grateful to Checkers & Rally’s for riding with me—and trust, it’s all the flavor and all the fire, for just four bucks.”

GloRilla’s $4 Unbeatable Meal Deal delivers unbeatable value with real flavor and major flex appeal. Fans can choose from three craveable sandwiches—the Cheese Double (featuring over a ¼ lb of beef), the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, or the exclusive, limited-time Glo’s BBQ Jacked Burger, made with 100% beef, Pepper Jack cheese, sweet & smoky BBQ sauce, and seasoned grilled onions on a toasted bun. The meal is rounded out with a soft drink, Checkers & Rally’s iconic Famous Seasoned Fries, and a warm, cinnamon-sugar dusted apple pie.

“This is the boldest meal deal in fast food,” said Scott Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer of Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. “GloRilla brings her Fearlessly Original spirit to everything she touches, and this collaboration celebrates her roots, our shared commitment to flavor, and the kind of value that turns heads and fills stomachs.”

In addition to the $4 meal deal, Checkers & Rally’s is dropping two more “Glo-inspired” burgers. Starting with Glo Da P’s BBQ Double—a mouthwatering new sandwich made with two 100% beef hamburger patties, American cheese, dill pickles, sweet & smoky BBQ sauce and mayo, served between two thick slices of garlic Texas toast.

Want even more flavor? Try Big Glo’s BBQ Buford, a powerhouse of a sandwich stacked with two large 100% beef hamburger patties, Fry-Seasoned Onion Fries, Pepper Jack cheese, American cheese, grilled onions, dill pickles, mayo, and BBQ sauce, also served on thick-cut garlic Texas toast.

Whether balling on a budget, craving something new, or just hungry for a meal with personality, GloRilla’s $4 Unbeatable Meal Deal—and the two all-new Glo burgers—bring big flavor, great value and zero compromises—only at Checkers & Rally’s.
